Reduced rich-club connectivity is related to disability in primary progressive MS
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the structural connectivity of the brain's rich-club organization is altered in patients with primary progressive MS and whether such changes to this fundamental network feature are associated with disability measures. METHODS We recruited 37 patients with primary progressive MS and 21 healthy controls for an observational cohort study. Structural connectomes ...
متن کاملMale Sex Is Independently Associated with Faster Disability Accumulation in Relapse-Onset MS but Not in Primary Progressive MS
BACKGROUND Multiple Sclerosis is more common in women than men and females have more relapses than men. In a large international cohort we have evaluated the effect of gender on disability accumulation and disease progression to determine if male MS patients have a worse clinical outcome than females. METHODS Using the MSBase Registry, data from 15,826 MS patients from 25 countries was analys...
متن کاملP 70: Primary Progressive MS and Affecting Genes
Multiple sclerosis is a CNS autoimmune disease configured by demyelination, inflammation, and degeneration of axons. This disease inflict great harms to patients. The most common problem is inability to control musculoskeletal system and decrease in mobility. These consequences could vary from patients to patients. About 10-15% of all MS patients develop primary progressive MS (PPMS). Despite t...
متن کاملRich-Club Organization in Effective Connectivity among Cortical Neurons.
The performance of complex networks, like the brain, depends on how effectively their elements communicate. Despite the importance of communication, it is virtually unknown how information is transferred in local cortical networks, consisting of hundreds of closely spaced neurons. To address this, it is important to record simultaneously from hundreds of neurons at a spacing that matches typica...
متن کاملImpaired Rich Club Connectivity in Unaffected Siblings of Schizophrenia Patients
Schizophrenia has been conceptualized as a disorder of brain connectivity. Recent studies suggest that brain connectivity may be disproportionally impaired among the so-called rich club. This small core of densely interconnected hub regions has been hypothesized to form an important infrastructure for global brain communication and integration of information across different systems of the brai...
